Love my past the terrible

Intro

Hook
The life we had was moving way too fast
Just tell me you will love me past my past
I feel your heavy breath against my spine
Look at me Matt and know that you are mine

Verse 1
I held your bleeding knuckles closely in my hand
We bled together just to make a final stand
You shivered in your coat against the concrete cold
I whispered softly here is something true to hold
We left our bloodstained jackets by the gravel track
And swore an oath that neither soul is looking back
The violence on that pavement cuts you far too deep
I hold your trembling shoulders when you cannot sleep
They swore we'd end up dead and buried underground
Now all their sirens fade into an empty sound
We broke the cycle just to keep our spirits clean
You are the only haven that I've ever seen

Hook
The life we had was moving way too fast
Just tell me you will love me past my past
I feel your heavy breath against my spine
Look at me Matt and know that you are mine

Verse 2
You trace your calloused thumb across my hidden scars
We traded freedom for the shadow of the bars
They threatened death if we stepped back across the line
I packed the shattered bags and said we'll be just fine
The whole block swore that we would never get away
We drove into the dusk until we found the day
When old nightmares return I hold you through the night
We conquered every demon till we saw the light
We smashed the sim cards from that dirty burner phone
In this small wooden kitchen we are safe alone
You press your forehead gently to my weary head
We sealed every promise in the words we said

Hook
The life we had was moving way too fast
Just tell me you will love me past my past
I feel your heavy breath against my spine
Look at me Matt and know that you are mine

Outro
The darkness almost took us way too fast
Thank you for loving me beyond my past
